“This is for the first time that women above the age of 40 can obtain a breast cancer-specific blood test in consultation with their physician from the convenience and privacy of their home or office,” Rajan Datar, chairman of Datar Cancer Genetics, said in an official...
Her activities sparked a rapid increase in women going for genetic testing on both sides of the Atlantic. But testing for the BRCA1 gene mutation isn’t the only way to test for an increased risk of breast cancer. For example, researchers at University College London are developing a blood ...
test evaluates gene expression patterns of 12 unique biomarkers through a custom qPCR process using proprietary software that includes machine learning-derived algorithms. Securing CE marking allows the company to market the blood...
The test could help doctors to identify women at high risk of the disease allowing them to take preventive medicines and switch to healthier lifestyles. Researchers have identified a 'genetic switch', carried by one in five women, that doubles their risk of developing breast cancer. Read the...

WEDNESDAY, May 29, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- A gene-based blood test can accurately detect breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, gastric or bile duct cancers in patients, researchers report. The test uses artificial intelligence to identify and interpret "fragments" of DNA ...
The new blood test, which screens for key proteins and gene mutations that indicate the presence of the cancers, was able to detect tumors in patients in the early stages of the condition in about 70 percent of the cases. Work on the tests is ongoing, with the researchers' latest findings...
Absence of overlapping mutations between the BRCA1+ genomes and sporadic breast cancer genomes suggests the different genetic basis between these two types of breast cancer. Searching the 23 mutations by gene name in the COSMIC database, which contain somatic mutation information for various types of...
